People can’t be this stupid can they?
This is one of the best phones I’ve owned and trust me, I’ve owned PLENTY.
Its a business related phone with many tech features. The writer CLEARLY was out of his depth with this phone and yes, a quick read of the user instruction manual would have cleared up so much of your confusion on using this device.
And as for the person who couldn’t figure out how to turn off their phone or put it on silent/vibrate…I honestly don’t have words for you.
Remember folks…high tech isn’t for everyone.

[…] Recently, I tried out the new Sony Ericsson M600i phone (see my review here). It is largely touch-screen dependent, which in the end drove me absolutely crazy after a few weeks of use. I wanted to LOVE the device. I’m a huge Sony Ericsson fan, and when I got the device as a trial mid-2006, I was estatic. However, especially when I was driving, the reliance on the touch screen did not allow me to make calls, enter my passcode or navigate to my SMS messages easily. What smartphones are to most people is a device that allows them to multi-task. This often demands easy one-handed usage, without always looking down at the phone. If you’ve ever had the choice to use your PDA keys for text entry, or to change to a stylus controlled text entry system is rarely chosen. I ended up putting the Sony Ericsson back in it’s box, completely disappointed by the overall interface and difficulty in usage. In this case, because of the dependence on the touch screen (and a pretty lousy user interface) high-volume usage and normal smartphone behavior was impossible. So I’m a bit biased against touch-screen only interfaces. […]

Sony erricsson m600i LCD quality is BADDD !!!!! I’ve bought it, when i try for 2 weeks, it’s hang, like something always press on bottom right. I returned it, and they replace it with the new one.

My friend got this wonderful phone. We were sharing a hotel room during a weekend in Budapest and his wonderful W600i keept ringing all the time. I thought that I was paranoid or something, he was checking his phone and couldn’t find how to turn the dam thing off. I almost flashed the f***** phone in the toilet.

Just a tip. I found that holding the back button will toggle keylock.

I just picked one up a few days ago. I have been using an MDA but wanted to try a non-Windows phone, and something smaller to boot.

I am a heavy SMS user due to my work so this is the feature I’ve used the most over the past few days. It’s rather annoying that it takes three “clicks” from the main screen to just get to sending an SMS, and at least two more to select a recipient (or recipients). There is some lag between screens too, and so far I’ve noticed that typing while lagging doesn’t work (this does work on the MDA).

I’m a bit mad because all the reviews I’d read rated the messaging capabilites of the phone as very good. On the MDA it takes two clicks and altho you can’t create message groups, you can quickly enter recipients as it auto-completes names.

The keylock thing you mentioned is also somewhat of a pain. I press * and then “lock keys” at the bottom right corner of the touchscreen. It wouldn’t be so terrible if it wasn’t JUST from the main screen that you can do this. They should just have an on/off button like most other smartphones.

The keyboard is going to take getting used to, that’s for sure, but it’s servicable. Coming from a full thumboard I’m a little spoiled. In the few days I’ve had it tho I’ve gotten alot faster on it.

I’m going to give it a try for a few weeks and see. If anything I may just go back to the MDA, which after the recent firmware upgrade seems to run a bit smoother.

Grant - there are a lot of blackberry lovers out there. we’re testing some mobile apps on these and they are running pretty smoothly. I haven’t gotten used to the keypad entry (and it looks like I won’t for a short while) but very interesting you turned towards the 8100/pearl.

Anders - thanks for your point-by-point follow up on some of the details I posted. Mostly I was referring to the lack of consistency from a former SE P10a user to a new SE M600i user and the differences in some of the behavior of the wheel toggle (no longer 5-way) and dependence on the touch screen. I feel it is a fair comment, however if this was my first use of the device rather than as an ongoing SE user, my experience might have been slightly different. I did like the concept of the 3-way key/keypad and feel it would not take too much getting used to for quick text entry.

Kelly - thanks for the review, as it validates most of the points that pushed me away from the m600i. Its lack of EDGE data support (c’mon, SE, think of the Yanks!), frequent bug reports and so-so usability drove me away. I my runner up was the Nokia E-70 (pocketability ruled out the E61), but I found a winner in an unlikely place - the new BlackBerry 8100, aka Pearl.

I’d never used a BlackBerry, but it’s hands down the best mobile email device I’ve used so far. As soon as PocketMac gets off their collective behinds and lets me sync with Address Book and iCal, I’ll be a happy man. It’s quad-band, unlockable and truly pocketable, though it lacks the m600i’s touchscreen. (Not a T-Mobile employee, just a satisfied user, promise!)

Kelly - quick note that I wasn’t able to get past Task #1 - Turn on Device on the Moto Q before experience the “black screen of death”. Looks like my observation is on hold:-).

I’ve posted a picture of the locked screen at http://urbanusability.blogspot.com.
